Hey Artists!

I send you the historic comet P/ Giacobini-Zinner (period: 6.6 years) from my observation
in aug, 1985. (info on my sketch).
This comet with the thin tail is the parent body of the Draconid-meteorshower which
had a major outburst 9. oct. 1985.
On that date my friend and I observed and photographed comet Halley while a rain of
meteors crossed the sky from the radiant in Draco. (I found Halley the day before).
I was happy to have seen and observed the parent body G-Z about two months earlier!
I used watercolorcrayons on black paper.
Location: Trondheim, Norway.
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
